摘要

In this study, generation of H2O2(hydrogen peroxide) by natural biofilms of different bioactivities under light irradiation was investigated, and effect of light on sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) degradation in such natural biofilm-water systems was evaluated. The role of H2O2 in the degradation of SDBS was also verified by SDBS degradation experiments in H2O2 solution without biofilms. The results indicated that: (1) biofilms with full bio-activity can generate H2O2 while biofilms without any bio-activity or bio-activity of photosynthesis can not generate H2O2; (2) much more SDBS can be degraded under visible light than in darkness; (3) light and Fe2+ can promote the degradation of SDBS in the presence of H2O2. H2O2 produced by natural biofilms should be one of the most important causes of the degradation of SDBS, and the roles of H2O2 in the degradation should include both direct oxidation of SDBS by H2O2 and the indirect role in generating active oxygen species.
